The words “The righteous perish, and no one lays it to heart” and “draw near here, you sons of a sorceress”
의인이 죽을찌라도 마음에 두는 자가 없다는 말과 무녀의 자식들에게 가까이 오라는 말
Isaiah 57:1–13: the text says, “The righteous perish, and no one lays it to heart. Merciful men are taken away, and no one considers that the righteous is taken away from the evil. He enters into peace. They rest in their beds, each one who walks in his uprightness.” It goes on, “But draw near here, you sons of a sorceress, you offspring of adulterers and prostitutes. Whom do you mock? Against whom do you make a wide mouth and stick out your tongue? Aren’t you children of disobedience and offspring of falsehood, you who inflame yourselves among the oaks, under every green tree; who kill the children in the valleys, under the clefts of the rocks? Among the smooth stones of the valley is your portion. They, they are your lot. You have even poured a drink offering to them. You have offered an offering. Shall I be appeased for these things? On a high and lofty mountain you have set your bed. You also went up there to offer sacrifice. You have set up your memorial behind the doors and the posts, for you have exposed yourself to someone besides me, and have gone up. You have enlarged your bed and made a covenant for yourself with them. You loved what you saw on their bed. You went to the king with oil, increased your perfumes, sent your ambassadors far off, and degraded yourself even to Sheol. You were wearied with the length of your ways; yet you didn’t say, ‘It is in vain.’ You found a reviving of your strength; therefore you weren’t faint. Whom have you dreaded and feared, so that you lie, and have not remembered me, nor laid it to your heart? Haven’t I held my peace for a long time, and you don’t fear me? I will declare your righteousness; and as for your works, they will not benefit you. When you cry, let those whom you have gathered deliver you, but the wind will take them. A breath will carry them all away, but he who takes refuge in me will possess the land, and will inherit my holy mountain.” These verses carry no formula naming who speaks.

The Korean Revised Version names Molech at 57:9 (네가 기름을 가지고 몰렉에게 나아가되), where WEB reads “You went to the king with oil”. It reads at 57:1 그 의인은 화액 전에 취하여 감을 입은 것인줄로, taken away before calamity, where WEB reads “taken away from the evil”; at 57:2 그는 평안에 들어갔나니, in the past, where WEB reads “He enters into peace”; at 57:8 네가 나를 배반하고 다른 자를 위하여 몸을 드러내고, where WEB reads “for you have exposed yourself to someone besides me”, and 또 그들의 침상을 사랑하여 그 처소를 예비하였으며, where WEB reads “You loved what you saw on their bed”; and at 57:13 네가 모은 우상으로, with idols, where WEB reads “let those whom you have gathered”.
